Matt Barnes Injury Update
Hooped Up | March 19, 2007
Warriors coach Don Nelson revealed before Saturday’s game that starting forward Al Harrington had sprained his left ankle in the second quarter of the team’s 106-86 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. And later in that game, reserve forward Matt Barnes dislocated his middle finger, suffered a chip fracture in that same digit and jammed his thumb.
Barnes, who hadn’t dislocated a finger since high school, incurred the injury while trying to pick the pocket of Timberwolves rookie Randy Foye. He succeeded — for a moment, at least.
“I got (the ball) from him,” said Barnes, who slammed his hand on Foye’s knee. “I just (screwed) everything up in the process.”
